Microalgal assemblages in a poikilohaline pond.
Microalgal strains for algal biofuels production in outdoor ponds will need to have high net growth rates under diverse environmental conditions. A small, variable salinity pond in the San Elijo Lagoon estuary in southern California was chosen to serve as a model pond due to its routinely high chlorophyll content. Profiles of microalgal assemblages from water samples collected from April 2011 t...
متن کاملNestedness, anti-nestedness, and the relationship between prevalence and intensity in ectoparasite assemblages of marine fish: a spatial model of species coexistence.
Nested species subset patterns consist in a hierarchical structure of species composition in related assemblages, with the species found in depauperate assemblages representing non-random subsets of progressively richer ones. This pattern has been found at the infracommunity level in about a third of the fish ectoparasite assemblages studied to date. Here we present evidence for another non-ran...
متن کاملTemporal stability of pond zooplankton assemblages
1. A large body of recent theory has recently developed focused on the relationship between the species diversity of competitor assemblages and the temporal stability of total competitor biomass. Many of these models predict that stability can increase with increasing diversity. 2. To explore natural relationships between zooplankton taxonomic diversity and temporal stability of total zooplankt...
متن کاملNestedness in assemblages of metazoan ecto- and endoparasites of marine fish.
Assemblages of metazoan ectoparasites of 79 species and gastrointestinal helminths of eight species of marine fishes were analysed to examine whether nestedness is related to sample size, abundance, species richness, and prevalence of infection, and whether the use of z-scores or Monte Carlo simulations yields different results. No significant differences in the number of nested assemblages wer...
متن کاملSpecies composition, richness and nestedness of lizard assemblages from Restinga habitats along the brazilian coast.
Habitat fragmentation is well known to adversely affect species living in the remaining, relatively isolated, habitat patches, especially for those having small range size and low density. This negative effect has been critical in coastal resting habitats. We analysed the lizard composition and richness of restinga habitats in 16 restinga habitats encompassing three Brazilian states (Rio de Jan...
